    Hmm... the "new character update" is described as already being in Q3.
    Maybe they mean the rebalancing, rather than yet another new class?

  3. Default Re: Nexon Q3 2015 Financial Results


    Well this is in stark contrast to what I was lead to believe.

    Edit: This actually really pisses me off. I wish there was more I could say.

    The question is whether you have been misled, or Nexon's investors are being misled, or a little of both.

    We all have to keep in mind that management has a lot of ways to manipulate the numbers to produce substantial "profit" even when the company isn't doing well. The classic example would be laying off a bunch of workers in Q2 to make Q3 profits higher. This would likely hurt eventual Q4 and onward profits, but revolving door employment and other tactics can mitigate that as well. It's really difficult for us to judge objectively since all we can do is look at user numbers and our personal spending.

    The report says "lower than expected HR costs" which lends credence to your theory. There's also a material amount of changes in income due to foreign currency fluctuations (value of the won and yen didn't change the way they expected) which mostly went in their favour and they haven't reported some of the related losses in net income, opting to leave them in other comprehensive income which is a different section that they technically don't have to mention in summaries.

    Well that's how financial accounting works though, they decide which method to use based on if it looks better for the company or not. You're right though, that information is quite telling

  9. Default Re: Nexon Q3 2015 Financial Results


    Well, yes, I know that, I've studied it.

    THEN WHY ARE YOU SAYING STUPID THINGS RAY MR ACCOUNTANT.
